Guest Designer at Inking it up Crazy

I'm really honoured to be the guest designer today at Inking it up Crazy. Today I used Echo Park paper...you just can't go wrong with it. It's bright and cheerful...pretty...love it!!  I actually had a hard time choosing which line to use...there are so many lines that I love from Echo Park. I decided to go with the most recently purchased...it's always fun to use new paper!! I also used my new Cricut cart-Elegant Edges. I just love this cart...I think it totally replaces Nestabilities...so many choices for great frames, edges and matts. I decided to break out the cart my parents bought for me...Kate's ABC's. This one has such pretty cuts that you could use for just about any card or layout. I chose to cut this wagon, as I thought that I could use it for any celebration...Birthday, Mother's Day or just a Congratulations card. I love making cards like this and leaving the sentiment inside blank...so I can add it later, as the occasion demands.

Recipe:

• Echo Park-Summer Days paper line
• Teal  and white Bazzill
• brown cardstock scrap
• CTMH-cocoa ink and Celebrate stamp from "Say it with Style"stamp set
• Stampin' Up ribbon and butterfly stamp inside, word window punch
• Cricut carts-Kate's ABC's and Elegant Edges
• white Uni-ball gel pen
• Martha Stewart edge punch inside
• Paper shapers-flower punches, corner rounder
• heart punch

Mother's Day card 2011

I made this one for my Mom-in-law for Mother's Day. I love how it turned out...pretty and springy...is that a word? I got to use a new cartridge again...yeah me! I always feel that if I use the cartridge even once...it's totally worth it...at least that's what I tell myself. It's a beautiful sunny day here...thank God. We had some snow the other day...I know...it's supposed to be spring...but in Thunder Bay, you never can tell when that last snow will fall.

Recipe:

• Bazzill-expresso
• My Mind's Eye-Stella & Rose "Gertie" paper pack
• Stampin' Up ribbon and sentiment stamp on card front
• CTMH-Cocoa ink and sentiment stamp inside card
• Martha Stewart edge punch
• Paper Shapers corner punch
• Cricut cartridge- Kate's ABC's 

The card base is 4x6". The butterfly is cut at 1-1/4" and the watering can is cut at 4". Layered the images with pop dots...I can't scrap without them.
